New Horizons of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Surgery.

Background: Ideas about Artificial intelligence appeared about half a century ago, but only now is it becoming an essential element of everyday life. The data provided are becoming a bigger pool and we need artificial intelligence that will help us with its superhuman powers. Its interaction with medicine is improving more and more, with medicine being a domain that continues to be perfected. Materials and Methods: The most important databases were used to perform this detailed search that addresses artificial intelligence in the medical and surgical fields. Discussion: Machine learning, deep learning, neural networks and computer vision are some of the mechanisms that are becoming a trend in healthcare worldwide. Developed countries such as Japan, France and Germany have already implemented artificial intelligence in their medical systems. The help it gives is in medical diagnosis, patient monitoring, personalized therapy and workflow optimization. Artificial intelligence will help surgeons to perfect their skills, to standardize techniques and to choose the best surgical techniques. Conclusions: The goal is to predict complications, reduce diagnostic times, diagnose complex pathologies, guide surgeons intraoperatively and reduce medical errors. We are at the beginning of this, and the potential is enormous, but we must not forget the impediments that may appear and slow down its implementation.

Current Overview of Metal Nanoparticles' Synthesis, Characterization, and Biomedical Applications, with a Focus on Silver and Gold Nanoparticles.

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have garnered considerable attention, due to their unique physicochemical properties, that render them promising candidates for various applications in medicine and industry. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the most recent advancements in the manufacturing, characterization, and biomedical utilization of metal NPs, with a primary focus on silver and gold NPs. Their potential as effective anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agents, drug delivery systems, and imaging agents in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of disorders is reviewed. Moreover, their translation to therapeutic settings, and the issue of their inclusion in clinical trials, are assessed in light of over 30 clinical investigations that concentrate on administering either silver or gold NPs in conditions ranging from nosocomial infections to different types of cancers. This paper aims not only to examine the biocompatibility of nanomaterials but also to emphasize potential challenges that may limit their safe integration into healthcare practices. More than 100 nanomedicines are currently on the market, which justifies ongoing study into the use of nanomaterials in medicine. Overall, the present review aims to highlight the potential of silver and gold NPs as innovative and effective therapeutics in the field of biomedicine, citing some of their most relevant current applications.
